Chapter 17: The Fallen God
Our group walked to the bottom of the bridge, and the master walked to the pit we dug in the corner, and put the ring-sized formation in his hand into the pit, and then we threw the cotton cloth on the side and then wrapped it layer by layer, and when we reached the layer of black thread, the master's fingers circled the black thread in the air a few times, and then he automatically tied it to the cloth bag with the movement of the master's hand, and then he took out the copper toad from his coat pocket, and this time the toad did not change anything, so the master smoothly pressed the toad on the black thread and wrapped the remaining layers of cotton cloth。
Then he filled the pit with soil and spread some rotten leaves and dead branches on the surface, as close as possible to the original, and then he looked at Uncle Pangbo, Uncle Pang Bo nodded to him, and the two of them joined together to seal and chant the mantra to launch the formation that was binding the innermost layer of the head of the Zashiki boy, but now there is a key problem that none of us can play Gu, so we can't re-lay the Phantom Gu down.
"How is this good," Uncle Pang Bo said while frowning, but Master didn't think so, he patted the dust on his hands, and then wiped the yellow liquid on his face, and said with a big grin:
"What's that, let's just leave it alone, anyway, Chen Xuyao can't know that we did it, I guess even if he comes back to take the head and finds that the Phantom Gu is broken, but the things inside are intact, at most, I wonder if it's just a stray cat and dog who accidentally broke the Gu, it's okay, let's not worry."
Let's go home, take a shower and change into a clean outfit, the smell is dead, buried dead, we have to go shopping after cleaning up!hahaha"
After the master finished speaking, he jumped and left first, Uncle Pang Bo shook his head when he saw this, and looked back at the hidden corner with his hands behind his back, I hurriedly followed with Chaxing, and then Zhuxing, who had been holding back for a long time, ran to Uncle Pang Bo's side, and tugged at Uncle Pangbo's sleeve, Uncle Shi looked down at her, and signaled her to say it with his eyes. Chaser then asked:
"Master, what is that kind of blessing and what is it that is a boy?"
Pombo hooked the corners of his mouth and glanced back at me, and I was looking at him with curiosity written on his face, so he cleared his throat and said:
"I once rescued a Japanese onmyoji who was in distress on the outer boundary of Maoshan Mountain, and after getting permission from Master Bronze Beard, I took him back to the mountain to recuperate for a while, and then sent him away and helped him return to Japan, during which time he told me many anecdotes about the Japanese supernatural world, and I learned about things such as the night walk of the hundred ghosts, Shikigami and so on.
The human head we met today is indeed the head of the Zashiki boy, the reason why I judge this is because it does not have the evil spirit of the demon on our side, and the second is that the style of the bun on its head is similar to the Japanese onmyoji I saved, and the onmyoji told me that the Zashiki boy is a rare one of the hundred ghosts in Japanese legends who likes to show the face of a child, so I speculated that it is the Japanese legend of Zashiki boy. "
Uncle Shi said as he walked, he glanced at the two of us, saw that we were listening with relish, and then continued:
"Although various versions of Japanese legends refer to Zashiki as a type of spirit or demon, I later accidentally learned that Zashiki is actually a god, a god who likes to live in a house or warehouse, and it is said that as long as Zashiki boy is in the house, the family will have a lot of money and fortune, and even the bad luck and negative energy around the place it passes through will be swept away.
And the personality of Zashiki boy is very naughty, for example, if you are home alone, it will suddenly make a loud strange noise to scare you when the surroundings are very quiet, so as to entertain yourself. If a group of children always feel that the number of friends is larger than the first one when they play at home, then it is most likely the Zashiki boy's ghost. However, it will also warn you before a natural disaster** occurs, so that you can prevent it from happening.
The point is, why did such an honest 'god of good fortune' who can be seen by children become the way we see it today? However, I guess that it is mostly because Chen Xuyao has become like this because of his own selfish desires, just like in Japan, there are often some selfish families who want their family to prosper and prosper to consult the family with profound mana Onmyoji or mage, and trap Zashiki Boy in the form of enchantments or seals, so as to satisfy their greed. "
After listening to Uncle Pang Bo's words, I suddenly felt pity and pathetic for the Zashiki boy, and I also felt very angry, if as Uncle Pang Bo guessed, Chen Xuyao controlled the Zashiki boy for his own selfish desires, why did he hurt it?!
I was gritting my teeth and thinking hatefully, when I glanced at Chaxing, and found that this thing did not know what interesting points I heard from Uncle Pombo's words, and I snickered as I walked over there, and I leaned over to her, and slapped her with my elbow, and said softly:
"What's wrong with you, you're evil?"
Chaser Xing reached over and covered my mouth and stopped, and after Uncle Pang Bo walked a little farther, he laughed a few times and then whispered in my ear:
"I've been with my master for so many years, and I haven't heard him say so many things at one time, hahaha, Master's serious and patient expression is so cute, oops, Mrs. is so cute"
After finishing speaking, she let go of the hand covering my mouth, ran behind Uncle Shi and followed, and turned around and grimaced at me, I shook my head helplessly, isn't it just a simple conversation, at least not
Soon after we left, Chen Xuyao sneaked up and hurried to the place where the boy's head was buried under the bridge, and he returned to the school office after burying the head, the school was really not close to the river, and it took more than 50 minutes to take a taxi. He had just sat down to catch his breath, and before he could even take a sip of water, he sensed that the phantom Gu worm he had set up on the surface of that hidden corner had lost contact with him.
So he hurriedly went out and took a taxi to the river, and when he arrived at the river, he hurriedly jumped out of the car and got under the bridge, he walked to the hidden corner and used his feet to pluck the rotten leaves and dead branches on the upper layer, and found that the Phantom Gu was really broken, and he secretly said in his heart:
"It's broken. "
After that, he squatted down and took out the cotton cloth bag after digging quickly with his hands, and did not find anything wrong after dismantling it layer by layer, which made Chen Xuyao feel a little strange, when he uncovered the last layer of cotton cloth and found that the head of the Zashiki boy was in a state of dormancy with his eyes closed, he was relieved, just when he just relaxed his vigilance and was about to wrap the head of the Zashiki boy again with cotton cloth and move to another place where he thought it was safe, the head of the Zashiki boy suddenly opened his eyes, flew up quickly and went around Chen Xuyao's back, and opened his mouth wide and bit his neck
